I’m keen to grow the headband trend so I’ve got an idea💡I want to nominate a couple of people from the teams we come up against in the @wbbl to wear a headband. In return I’ll donate $100 to the charity of their choice. First up the @sixersbbl on NYE! 🎉 #wbbl04 #headband pic.twitter.com/zsLssrii6K

The India vice-captain enjoyed a colourful New Year's Eve in Sydney, before the whole team turned out in their best for a gathering at the Australian prime minister's residence. Charlotte Edwards, meanwhile, caught the fireworks in Adelaide.
